OPENS DOORS

As a Computer Science Department member (faculty member or student taking
papers at 300-level or higher) you will be able to get some free Microsoft
Software through Microsoft Imagine (formerly called MSDN Academic Alliance).
You can install this on your own computer and do not need to remove it when
you finish studying.

If you are using one of our departmental computers, you should use our internal
server to download the files as this will keep network charges for both you and
the department to a minimum. If you are downloading the product images from a
computer outside the department, you will have to get the software
over the internet (links are provided elsewhere) as access to our server is
restricted to connections from certain specified ip-addresses only.

Read the guidelines on usage of the software obtained through Microsoft Imagine
which may be found here.
You will need to agree to these when using ELMS.

Obtain a licence code for each product - login in to the Microsoft Imagine ELMS
website here
with your departmental user credentials, ie. those you use to login to our
departmental computers. Instructions on how to login to, and navigate your
way through, the site are available
here.

Create your own install CDs/DVDs. Use the instructions given
here, to burn a CD/DVD after you have
obtained the image files for the products you want - either by accessing
the locally-hosted image files or downloading them from the ELMS
website (if you
are not using a departmental computer).

If you have any questions or problems, please check our
FAQ page to see if the information there will
help you. If you cannot find an answer or solution there, then please send an
e-mail with your query to the MSDNAA administrator.
